Headquarters

Sooner, Ellena was introduced to others who were seemingly in executive positions. They are all fair-looking and also wore some non-average gears.

"We are rankers that are exclusively active in the guild. I am Nicolas and these two are Anya and Pauleen." Nicolas introduced the two females.

"I am Noelle. Can I ask? Why would I need to go to the HQ to be questioned? Can't you question me here without leaving?" Ellena asked.

"Well... it's because we want you to use a lie detector. And lie detectors are treasures to be considered as normal artifacts, so I hope you understand." Nicolas said.

The ranker's name who assisted Ellena earlier was Manny, and after the small talk with others, he led him to her room since the journey would take 2 days.

Ellena thanked him and inspected the room she was offered. It looked like a normal inn room. A bed on the side and well-conditioned wooden walls. There was also a personal restroom, which made a difference from the inn rooms.
